quarry's

What's being chased's

Quarry's is the possessive form of quarry, which has two distinct meanings.

The first is a site where stone, slate, or other materials are extracted from the earth: The quarry's limestone deposits were nearly exhausted.

The second meaning is prey being hunted or pursued: The hunter tracked his quarry's movements through the snow.
